I don't know anything specifically about Hercules/Ironman tires, but a couple of things you might want to consider are:

RV tires generally get replaced due to AGE, not tread wear. So UV protection is an important consideration. Truck tires generally don't have the level of UV protection built into them that RV-specific models do... so they could begin cracking and need replacing (or, worse yet, cause a blow-out) significantly earlier.

RV-specific tires are generally designed with softer sidewalls than "truck" tires, so they provide a softer, smoother ride at the same tire pressures.

Of course, the RV-specific models sold by the likes of Goodyear and Michelin are significantly more expensive than more readily-available "truck" tires, so maybe you'd still make out if you had to replace them earlier. I don't know.

After 71 years, I have decided you really do get what you pay for. My next MH tires will be another set of Goodyear G670's.
